Default Finished 2 faces in Babine bark
This is my second face in Babine Bark. It has 2 coats of waterlox and will probaly get one more coat and then a coat of Watco Satin Wax (natural).

The first face I posted in work in progress, I added one more picture to that post showing it after a coat of the dark brown wax.

I have been looking for something that would be easier on my hands and this might be a good medium. It's soft enough. It just limits me on size.

I aslo included a shot of The Fu-Dog. After the paint cured good I added a coat of dark brown wax.

Whatever kind of bark that is John, those are great carvings. Also the ones in the WIP section. I have seen cottonwood with that white surface too.
